Description
Jacopo Tintoretto was a distinctive artist of the Italian Renaissance. His bold paintings are instantly recognizable, but his drawings remain less familiar to many scholars. This book offers a comprehensive overview of Tintoretto as a draftsman. The volume begins by examining the drawings of Tintoretto's predecessors and contemporaries, highlighting both his sources and originality. It then explores Tintoretto's evolution as a draftsman, including preparatory drawings for paintings and studies after sculptures by Michelangelo. The book also delves into the changes in Tintoretto's style as he undertook larger commissions and managed a growing number of assistants. Drawing in Tintoretto's Venice is published in conjunction with an exhibition at the Morgan Library & Museum, New York, and later travels to the National Gallery of Art, Washington. The book includes all drawings from the exhibition, along with a checklist, offering a far-reaching account of Tintoretto's drawings and his work as a draftsman.
